Petr Cech ruled out for the season as injuries mar gritty Chelsea display

Jose Mourinho has confirmed Petr Cech's season is at a premature end after the Chelsea goalkeeper was injured in the Champions League semi-final first leg goalless draw at Atletico Madrid.

The stalemate came at a cost for Mourinho and the Blues as Cech went off after 18 minutes with a shoulder injury and captain John Terry departed after 72 minutes with a foot problem.

Midfielders Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel also picked up bookings which will see them suspended for next Wednesday's return.

Cech was injured as he punched the ball from underneath his own crossbar, with David Luiz pushing Raul Garcia into the Chelsea goalkeeper who hit the ground with a thud and was replaced by Mark Schwarzer.

Atletico Madrid v Chelsea player ratings

1/28
Thibaut Courtois - 6

All the fuss over whether he’d get to play against his parent club and no-one would have noticed if Atletico had put one of the steward’s in goal. Barely involved.

GETTY

2/28
Juanfran - 6

On the few occasions Chelsea did break forward with any menace, Juanfran was always there to snuff out the danger. Helped ensure Willian was ineffective.

GETTY

3/28
Diego Godin - 6

Like his central defensive partner, couldn’t have asked for an easier match. Still, demonstrated just how hard he will be to get past next week.

GETTY

4/28
Miranda - 6

A comfortable night’s work for the centre half with only Torres to worry about. Pressed high up the pitch and looked comfortable in possession.

GETTY

5/28
Filipe Luis - 6

Did his best, as expected, to get forward at every opportunity. However, found it hard to make an impact with Ramires and Azpilcueta patrolling his flank.

GETTY

6/28
Raul Garcia - 6

Did his utmost to join in Atletico’s attacks from the right flank and combine with Costa. Looks a neat player and will be one to watch second time around.

GETTY

7/28
Gabi - 5

Lost his discipline late on as frustration boiled over. Clashed with Mikel unnecessarily and the yellow card will mean he is out of the second leg at Stamford Bridge.

GETTY

8/28
Mario Suarez - 6

A classy operator that thrived in the space Chelsea allowed him time and again in the middle of the pitch. His end product was lacking though.

GETTY

9/28
Koke - 5

Has been compared already to Barcelona and Spain legend Xavi, but on this evidence the 22-year-old has some improving to do to get to that level.

GETTY

10/28
Diego - 5

Surprisingly started instead of legend David Villa and barring a couple of tame efforts, provided little goal threat. No surprise when he was taken off with half an hour to go.

GETTY

11/28
Diego Costa - 7

Given Chelsea’s negative tactics, it was always going to be hard for the Mourinho’s’ potential summer signing to shine. Still, he dropped deep, linked up play well and made intelligent runs.

GETTY

12/28
Best off the bench: Arda Turan - 6

Will surely start next week after making a positive impact in the half hour he was on the pitch. Had a groin problem in the build-up to the game so maybe Simeone decided to take the cautious approach with him.

Jose Sosa

15/28
Petr Cech - 6

Had to feel sympathy for the Czech international. Would have been desperate to prove a point against opposite number Courtois but forced off in the 19th minute through injury.

16/28
Cesar Azpilicueta - 8

Seemed determined from the outset to make up for his error against Sunderland. Full of energy, Azpilicueta covered more ground than anyone to close Atletico’s players down.

GETTY

17/28
Gary Cahill - 7

Looks so assured at this level these days and even the talented Diego Costa didn’t faze him. Kept clearances nice and simple, just as Mourinho would have wanted.

GETTY

18/28
John Terry - 7

After missing Chelsea’s last two European finals, Terry played like a man determined to make sure he will be at the third. Hobbled off late on though to spark fears of another heartbreak.

GETTY

19/28
Ashley Cole - 7

Making a rare outing due to Branislav Ivanovic’s suspension and gave a timely reminder to England coach Roy Hodgson that he can perform on the big occasion.

GETTY

20/28
John Obi Mikel - 7

Has become persona non grata under Mourinho recently. This was his first start for over two months, but he played a vital part in a defensive effort.

GETTY

21/28
David Luiz - 6

Deserves a low mark just for his stupidity which led to Cech suffering an injury in the first half. Still, the Brazil international helped provide a shield in front of the back four.

GETTY

22/28
Frank Lampard - 6

May not have the speed of old, yet his experience alone provided a reassuring presence. Made his fair share of tackles, although one late lunge means he’s out of the second leg.

GETTY

23/28
Ramires - 4

There were no flying forearms from the Brazilian like we saw at the weekend, but there were few quality touches either. Gave the ball away too often and sent one good chance wide.

GETTY

24/28
Willian - 5

The Brazilian spent more time tracking back than helping Chelsea on the counter attack. Effective at one end, but missing too much at the other.

GETTY

25/28
Fernando Torres - 5

So isolated up front, it was little wonder Torres made a minimal impact against his former club. Fed on scraps and worked tirelessly for the team.

GETTY

26/28
Mark Schwarzer - 6

After a poor performance against Sunderland, coming on so early for Cech was a real test of the Australian’s nerve. Wasn’t tested too often, however can be proud of his handling.

Andre Schurrle

The Czech Republic goalkeeper will miss the final three matches of the Premier League season, beginning at leaders Liverpool on Sunday, as well as the conclusion to the European campaign.
